PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock.  You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial Statements, before making an investment decision. In this Prospectus, the terms “TabacaleraYsidron,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to TabacaleraYsidron, Inc.

 

Overview

 

TabacaleraYsidron was established in November 2011 to introduce premium cigars to the United States as a cigar broker. Beginning in early 2007, the Company’s founders sought to develop a cigar that would appeal to aficionados of high-quality, hand-rolled, premium cigars. Through TabacaleraYsidron, the Company intends to introduce premium cigars to build sales of private label cigars as a cigar broker. The Company has worked with a cigar manufacturer in Esteli, Nicaragua to develop a variety of cigars with the Epicurean label. The Company, acting as broker, finds wholesalers who are interested in purchasing the Epicurean cigars and marketing them to retailers. At the same time, we will find retailers who are interested in purchasing our cigars and connect them with our wholesalers who will complete the order. The Company conducts its business principally through one operating subsidiary: Epicurean Cigars, Inc. which is the Company’s U.S. sales and marketing organization. Epicurean Cigars, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. 

 

The company will realize any revenue through a commission on sales of cigars that are sold through the wholesaler. The arrangement with the wholesaler is that they are allowed to add a 27% cost to the manufacturers cost per cigar. Tabacalera/Epicurean receives the difference between the wholesaler’s price and the price to the retailer. An example would be if the cost per cigar from the manufacturer is $1.00 the wholesaler would start with a price of $1.27 per cigar. Tabacalera/Epicurean is paid the difference of the price per cigar above the $1.27. These sales can be generated directly through the wholesaler’s network or the Company can also work to encourage the sale of the cigars by retailers through the wholesaler.

 

The Company has a three part approach to building business over the next twelve months. The first will be to use our former CEO, Steve Ysidron’s contact base of over 1,200 retail customers to promote orders for cigars through wholesalers. We anticipate that this will require little upfront money on the part of the company. The Company has budgeted $1,000 for the cost of this marketing approach to the business. The funds will cover the cost of designing a brochure that can be printed or emailed.

 

The second approach of the Company is to contact every golf course in North Carolina initially with an opportunity to sell our cigars in their golf shops. We will then connect these golf shops with our wholesalers to complete an order purchase of our cigars.

 

The third approach will be to find wholesalers who are interested in selling our cigars to retailers and work with them in marketing our products. To date, we have a relationship with one wholesaler, LJ Zucca Enterprises. We do not have a written agreement with LJ Zucca Enterprises.

 

The Company does not have sufficient capital to pursue this business model for the coming year while also paying the cost of this registration. However, following the successful registration of the Company we think that there will be more active interest in the second round of fundraising.

 

We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, our growth may be limited because our CEO only expects devoting 10-12 hours per week to the business.

 

We are a development stage company that has generated limited revenues and has had limited operations to date. From November 8, 2011 (date of inception) to March 31, 2014 we have incurred accumulated net losses of $809,934 and $17,567 in revenue. For the year ended March 31, 2014, we generated $0 in revenue and $98,762 in net loss. As of March 31, 2014, we had $26,673 in current assets and current liabilities of $66,407. We have sold and issued an aggregate of 7,745,000 shares of our common stock since our inception. The implied aggregate price of our common stock based on the offering price of $0.20 is $1,549,000 and our total stockholders’ deficit is ($39,734) as of March 31, 2014.

 

As of September 2014, the Company has $8,084.09 of cash on hand. The Company is spending limited funds at the current time with the exception of SEC and related corporate governance costs. We expect these costs to be approximately $40,000 per year. Our burn rate is currently $10,000 per quarter. Therefore, we do not have sufficient funds to accomplish our business plans for the next year and at the current burn rate we will run out of cash in September 2014. We will either have to substantially increase sales or pursue additional financing opportunities in order to continue business operations. We have not sold any cigars since 2012.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

  A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related MD&A;

 

  Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

 

  Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and

 

  No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

 

We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided above and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

For more details regarding this exemption, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies.”

RISK FACTORS

 

The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling security holders are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire amount invested in the common stock. Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider, along with other matters referred to herein, the following risk factors in evaluating our business before purchasing any shares of Common Stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment.  You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our common stock.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY

 

There can be no assurance that management of the Company will be successful in its attempts to implement the Company’s business plan, build the corporate infrastructure required to support operations at the levels called for by the Company’s business plan or that the Company will generate sufficient revenues to meet its expenses or to achieve or maintain profitability. We will encounter risks and difficulties that companies at a similar stage of development frequently experience, including the potential failure to:

 

•                  Obtain sufficient working capital to support our establishment and expansion;

 

•                  Find and realize the asset management opportunities required to generate revenue;

 

•                  Maintain adequate control of our expenses allowing us to realize anticipated income growth; and

 

•                 Anticipate and adapt to changing conditions in the tobacco products industry resulting from changes in government regulations, mergers and acquisitions involving our competitors, technological developments and other significant competitive and market dynamics.

 

OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM HAS NO EXPERIENCE OPERATING A PUBLIC COMPANY. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY OR ADEQUATELY COMPLY WITH FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS, RULES OR REGULATIONS COULD SUBJECT US TO FINES OR REGULATORY ACTIONS, WHICH MAY MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

 

Members of our management team have no experience managing and operating a public company and may rely in many instances on the professional experience and advice of third parties including its attorneys and accountants. Failure to comply or adequately comply with any federal or state securities laws, rules, or regulations may result in fines or regulatory actions, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operation, or financial condition and could result in delays in achieving either the effectiveness of a registration statement relating to the Securities being sold in this Offering or the development of an active and liquid trading market for our Common Stock.

 

OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

 

The audited financial statements included in the registration statement have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if we cease to continue as a going concern. We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We have funded these losses primarily through the sale of securities.

 

8
 

 

Based on our financial history since inception, in their report on the financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We are a development stage company that has started generating limited revenue. There is no assurance that this revenue stream will continue in the future.

 

There can be no assurance that we will have adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to us when needed or at all, or, if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by us. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern.

  

We RELY HEAVILY ON ONE WHOLSESALER TO COMPLETE ORDERS OF OUR CIGARS. THE WHOLESALER’s failure to perform could force us to abandon business, hinder our ability to generate revenues or operate profitably and decrease the value of your investment. We also do not have a contract with our wholesaler.

 

At this time, we rely heavily on one wholesaler, LJ Zucca Enterprises. This wholesaler helps us secure orders, transports our products and assists in marketing. While we have no reason to believe that our wholesaler will not complete these duties and obligations, if LJ Zucca Enterprises fails to timely deliver our products to retailers, our business and reputation could be negatively affected. While we plan on developing relationships with one or two additional wholesalers, our reliance on one or a limited number of wholesalers may place us at a competitive disadvantage, hinder our ability to generate revenues or operate profitably and decrease the value of your investment.

 

In addition, in the event that LJ Zucca Enterprises fails to complete the terms of our agreement to distribute and market our products, we have few options for recourse because we do not have a written contract in place at this time. Because our revenue comes directly from our wholesalers, our business could be severely adversely affected and your investment may be lost.

 

WE RELY HEAVILY ON ONE MANUCTURER OF CIGARS, AND THE PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF THIS SUPPLIER COULD CAUSE CUSTOMER SUPPLY OR PRODUCTION DELAYS AND A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF REVENUES. WE ALSO DO NOT HAVE A WRITTEN CONTRACT WITH THIS MANUFACTURER.

 

We rely on one outside vendor, Plasencia Cigars, to manufacture our cigars. Plasencia manufactures cigars in Nicaragua and its ability to perform the agreement will be affected by the quality controls in Nicaragua, which may be different than those in the United States, as well as the regional or worldwide economic, political or governmental conditions. Disruptions in international trade and finance or in transportation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Any significant disruption in the Company’s operations for any reason, such as regulatory requirements, scheduling delays, quality control problems, loss of certifications, power interruptions, fires, hurricanes, war or threats of terrorism, labor strikes, contract disputes, could adversely affect our sales and customer relationships. There can be no assurances that a third party contract manufacturer will be able to meet the design specifications of our technology.

 

Our reliance on one manufacturer is expected to continue and involve several other risks including limited control over the availability of delivery schedules, pricing and product quality. We may experience delays, additional expenses and lost sales because of our dependency upon a single manufacturer. Although we have no reason to believe that Plasencia Cigars will be unable to supply us and our wholesalers with needed products, if Plasencia Cigars were to be unable to supply us with adequate cigars in a timely manner, or if we are unable to locate a suitable alternative supplier or at favorable terms, our business could be materially adversely impacted. While we believe alternative manufacturers exist, we have not specifically identified any alternative manufacturer and may not be able to replace Plasencia if we need to in a timely fashion.

 

In addition, in the event of a breach of law by Plasencia Cigars, we will have few options for recourse because we do not have a written contract with Plasencia Cigars to supply us with cigars. Furthermore, all of our manufacturer’s assets are located in Nicaragua. In addition, it may not be possible to affect service of process in Nicaragua and uncertainty exists as to whether the courts in Nicaragua would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against a Nicaraguan company.

 

IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.

 

If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not be able to undertake sufficient sales and business development efforts required to identify clients and sell our cigars,, which may result in a negative impact to our cash flow and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us. To date, we have not undertaken efforts to seek additional funding.

 

In connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the development of similar products undertaken by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in sales and marketing; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including corporate acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.

 

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, our Common Stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will have no control.

 

If we cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to: (i) limit our expansion; (ii) limit our marketing efforts; and (iii) decrease or eliminate capital expenditures. Such reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete.

 

Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are favorable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to the Shares. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

 

9
 

 

 

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION OF YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR PREFERRED STOCK.

 

If we raise additional capital subsequent to this Offering through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution.  In addition, we may also have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense. 

 

 WE WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON KEY PERSONNEL FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

 

The Company will be dependent on several key members of its management and operations teams for the foreseeable future. In particular, the Company is dependent on Ramon Tejeda, its president, and Beth Floyd, its secretary. The loss of the services of either executive could have a material adverse effect on the operations and prospects of the Company. At this time, the Company has no employment agreements with any of these individuals, though it is contemplated that the Company may enter into such agreements with certain of its key employees on terms and conditions usual and customary for its industry. The Company does not currently have any "key man" life insurance on any of its employees.

  

OUR PRINCIPAL OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, RAMON TEJEDA CONTROLS 63.27% OF OUR ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK. HE WILL BE ABLE TO EXERT SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE AND CONTROL OVER ALL CORPORATE DECISIONS, EVEN IF SUCH DECISIONS MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.  

 

Our principal officer and director, Ramon Tejeda, currently controls an aggregate of 4,900,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 63.27%, of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this prospectus. Accordingly, he will have significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. The interests Mr. Tejeda may differ from the interests of the other shareholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders. This controlling interest may also have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock by discouraging third-party investors. In addition, such control by Mr. Tejeda will allow him to establish his own compensation and other benefits and perquisites in an amount and manner that would have a negative impact on our net income which in turn could negatively impact the market price, if any, of our common stock.

 

OUR KEY PERSONNEL MAY NOT PROVIDE MORE THAN TEN TO TWELVE HOURS OF TIME PER WEEK TO OUR BUSINESS, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.

 

Our future ability to execute our business plan depends upon the continued service of our executive officers and directors. Mr. Tejeda has another job in a management position at Eaton, Corp. Therefore, Mr. Tejeda will be required to spend less than full-time with this venture and may be limited in the amount of time he can devote to the Company.  However, he plans on devoting ten to twelve hours per week to the Company.

 

WE MAY FACE DIFFICULITIES ESTABLISHING A NEW BRAND.

 

The Company’s principal business strategy is to develop the Epicurean brand name as a respected brand associated with the highest quality premium cigars. The marketing of luxury consumer goods such as high-quality, premium cigars is highly dependent on creating favorable consumer perception through well-orchestrated advertising and public relations. The Company has little advertising experience, having spent only minimal amounts on such activities to-date. Additionally, it may be difficult to develop a well-orchestrated advertising campaign when some of our advertising efforts will be done through third party wholesalers. The Company’s competitors have significantly greater advertising resources and experience and enjoy well-established brand names. There can be no assurance that the Company’s initial advertising and promotional activities will be successful in creating the desired consumer perception.

  

WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN THE REGULATION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

 

All distributors of tobacco products are subject to extensive and increasing regulation at the federal, state and local levels. These regulations have, for example, imposed labeling requirements, limited advertising of tobacco products, restricted smoking in public areas such as office buildings and restaurants and prohibited sales of tobacco products to minors. Proposals have been entertained to transfer regulation of tobacco products from the Federal Trade Commission to the Food and Drug Administration, which has expressed the intention to regulate tobacco products as an addictive “drug.” There can be no assurance as to the content, timing or effect of future regulations on the federal, state or local levels or that such regulations would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Because our business is so closely tied to that of our distributors, adverse effects of regulation may also negatively affect our business.

 

WE MAY FACE LITIGATION ISSUES SIMILAR TO THOSE IN THE CIGARETTE INDUSTRY.

 

Distributors and manufacturers of tobacco products have been the subject of increasing litigation seeking to extend product liability to such companies for allegedly tobacco-related medical conditions of smokers. While such litigation has primarily centered on cigarettes, there can be no assurance that the increased popularity and visibility of cigars will not result in similar litigation against distributors and manufacturers of cigars. If the Company, acting as a sales broker, were to become a party to such litigation, either any finding of liability on the part of the Company or the expense and diversion of management time in defending such litigation could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company. Additionally, because our business is so closely tied to that of our wholesalers and manufacturer, any litigation and finding of liability against these parties may also negatively affect our business.

 

10
 

 

OUR WHOLESALERS MAY BE SUBJECT TO INCREASING EXCISE TAXES.

 

Cigars (and tobacco products generally) have long been subject to excise taxes on the federal, state and local levels. From time to time proposals have been made to increase such taxes to fund various legislative initiatives. Substantial increases in excise taxes could have a material adverse impact on the cigar industry in general.

 

OUR COMPETITION IS MUCH LARGER AND HAS BEEN IN THE MARKETPLACE MUCH LONGER.

 

Several large, well-financed competitors with long-standing brand recognition, successful histories of new product introductions and long-standing relationships dominate the market for the distribution of premium cigars with tobacco growers and distributors. Our Company competes with well-established companies for sales to distributors and to consumers. While the Company believes that the rapidly expanding market for sales of premium cigars has created room for new competitors to achieve substantial sales and profits, there can be no assurance that our Company can compete successfully on price or in obtaining raw materials, building facilities and attracting and keeping skilled labor, which could result in material adverse effects on the business of the Company.

 

WE FACE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL MANUFACTURING AND IMPORTATION.

 

All the Company’s existing and planned sources of its cigars are located in the Nicaragua. As such, the Company is subject to the risks of changes in social, political and regulatory climate inherent in foreign trade, including potential changes in either Nicaraguan or U.S. laws or regulations regarding foreign investment in and transfers of capital from Nicaragua. While the Company is not aware of any such social, political or regulatory changes, if such a change should occur, it could materially impair the Company’s operations and its financial condition.

 

WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS.

 

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect these costs to be approximately $40,000 per year. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will negatively affect our business operations 

 

WE ARE AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY,” AND ANY DECISION ON OUR PART TO COMPLY ONLY WITH CERTAIN REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES” COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we expect and fully intend to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

11
 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.  We have elected to opt in to the extended transition period for complying with the revised accounting standards. We have elected to rely on these exemptions and reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” and expect to continue to do so.

  

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THE ACCELERATED FILING AND INTERNAL CONTROL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY THE SEC WHICH MAY RESULT IN A DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON SHARES AND AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING.

 

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8934 on June 26, 2008, the SEC adopted rules requiring each public company to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual reports. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements must also attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting as well as the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. We will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement

 

·Of management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting;

 

·Of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year end; and

 

·Of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Furthermore, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to file its attestation report separately on our internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that we have maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.

 

While we expect to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, there is a risk that we may not be able to comply timely with all of the requirements imposed by this rule. In the event that we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our stock price and ability to obtain equity or debt financing as needed could suffer.

 

In addition, in the event that our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to rely on our internal controls in connection with its audit of our financial statements, and in the further event that it is unable to devise alternative procedures in order to satisfy itself as to the material accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures, it is possible that we would be unable to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC, which could also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and our ability to secure additional financing as needed.

 

12
 

 

THE JOBS ACT ALLOWS US TO DELAY THE ADOPTION OF NEW OR REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT EFFECTIVE DATES FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES.

 

Since, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, this election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.  As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

OUR COMMON SHARES WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND AS A RESULT WE WILL HAVE LIMITED REPORTING DUTIES WHICH COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.

 

Our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act. As a result, we will not be subject to the federal proxy rules and our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In additional our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act may be suspended automatically if we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record on the first day of our fiscal year. Our common shares are not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we do not intend to register our common shares under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future, provided that, we will register our common shares under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, more than either (i) 2000 persons; or (ii) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As a result, although, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will be required to file annual, quarterly, and current reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules. In addition, so long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common shares will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directs, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers, and beneficial holders will only be available through this (and any subsequent) registration statement, and periodic reports we file thereunder. Furthermore, so long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective), we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record. This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC. In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information, may not be available with respect to our results of operations.

 

BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, OUR REPORTING OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 15(D) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, MAY BE SUSPENDED AUTOMATICALLY IF WE HAVE FEWER THAN 300 SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD ON THE FIRST DAY OF OUR FISCAL YEAR.

 

Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future (provided that, we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, $10,000,000 in total assets and either more than 2,000 shareholders of record or 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission), in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act).   As long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective), we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record.  This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC.  In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information, may not be available with respect to our results of operations.

OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AT OUR EXPENSE AND LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MAJOR COST TO US AND HURT THE INTERESTS OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS BECAUSE CORPORATE RESOURCES MAY BE EXPENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS.  

 

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages to the fullest extent possible under the laws of the State of Nevada or other applicable law. These provisions eliminate the liability of directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation of a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. Under Nevada law, however, such provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. These provisions do not affect a director’s liabilities under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties.

  

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, INCLUDING ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING ACCEPTABLE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, ARE COSTLY AND MAY INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY.

 

The rules and regulations of the SEC require a public company to prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, which will require that the Company engage legal, accounting, auditing and other professional services. The engagement of such services is costly. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires, among other things, that we design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the limited technically qualified personnel we have may make it difficult for us to design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event that we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our overall financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.

  

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, compliance with these rules and regulations will nonetheless increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.

  

We are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. However, we anticipate that the expenses that will be required in order to adequately prepare for being a public company could be material. We estimate that the aggregate cost of increased legal services; accounting and audit functions; personnel, such as a chief financial officer familiar with the obligations of public company reporting; consultants to design and implement internal controls; and financial printing alone will be a few hundred thousand dollars per year and could be several hundred thousand dollars per year. In addition, if and when we retain independent directors and/or additional members of senior management, we may incur additional expenses related to director compensation and/or premiums for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the costs of which we cannot estimate at this time. We may also incur additional expenses associated with investor relations and similar functions, the cost of which we also cannot estimate at this time. However, these additional expenses individually, or in the aggregate, may also be material.

 

14
 

 

In addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

 

The increased costs associated with operating as a public company may decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may cause us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services to offset the effect of such increased costs. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

THE COMPANY MAY BE SUBJECT TO LITIGATION IN THE FUTURE WHICH COULD IMPACT THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE COMPANY.

 

Currently there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company. However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF A PUBLIC MARKET OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.

 

There is no established public trading marketing for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that one will ever develop. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they to sell securities held by them. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.

 

WE MAY NEVER PAY ANY DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.

 

THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK WAS DETERMINED BASED ON THE PRICE OF OUR PRIVATE OFFERING, AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE SECURITIES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO OUR ACTUAL VALUE, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL.

 

Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.20 per share for the shares of common stock was determined based on the price of our private offering. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

 

15
 

 

OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK, WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.

 

We may be subject now and in the future to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this report, includes some statement that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our and their management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, results of operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the following forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the parties’ control) or other assumptions.

 

Use of Proceeds

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling security holders. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the selling security holders as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Security Holders” and “Plan of Distribution.”  We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the common stock for the selling security holders.

 

Determination of Offering Price

 

Since our common stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of common stock was determined by the price of the common stock that was sold to our security holders pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

The offering price of the shares of our common stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market.

 

Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.

 

In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

 

17
 

 

Dilution

 

The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders as provided in the “Selling Security Holders” section is common stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.

 

Selling Security Holders

 

The common shares being offered for resale by the selling security holders consist of 2,745,000 shares of our common stock held by 34 unaccredited selling security holders and 5 accredited selling security holders. Such shareholders include the holders of 2,745,000 shares sold in our private offering pursuant to Regulation D Rule 506 sold through March 2013 at an offering price of $0.10 per share.

  

The following table sets forth the names of the selling security holders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders as of September 10, 2014 and the number of shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus.

None of the selling shareholders or their beneficial owners:

  - has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.20 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTCBB and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Prior to being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, shareholders may sell their shares in private transactions to other individuals. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by selling security holder must be made at the fixed price of $0.20 until a market develops for the stock. 

 

Once a market has developed for our common stock, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders, who may be deemed to be underwriters, directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:

 

  · ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales,
  · transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading, market where our common stock is trading,
  · through direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents,
 

·

through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed of otherwise), or exchange listed or otherwise), or
 

·

any combination of the foregoing.

 

In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus. None of the selling security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.

 

We will advise the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling security holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling security holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $52,000.

Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, no FINRA member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds of the offering.

Information about the Registrant

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

TabacaleraYsidron was established in November 2011 to introduce premium cigars to the United States as a cigar broker. Beginning in early 2007, the Company’s founders sought to develop a cigar that would appeal to aficionados of high-quality, hand-rolled, premium cigars. Through TabacaleraYsidron, the Company intends to introduce premium cigars to build sales of private label cigars as a cigar broker. The Company has worked with a cigar manufacturer in Esteli, Nicaragua to develop a variety of cigars with the Epicurean label. The Company, acting as broker, finds wholesalers who are interested in purchasing the Epicurean cigars and marketing them to retailers. At the same time, we will find retailers who are interested in purchasing our cigars and connect them with our wholesalers who will complete the order. The Company conducts its business principally through one operating subsidiary: Epicurean Cigars, Inc. which is the Company’s U.S. sales and marketing organization. Epicurean Cigars, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. 

 

The Company will realize any revenue through a commission on sales of cigars that are sold through the wholesaler. The arrangement with the wholesaler is that they are allowed to add a 27% cost to the manufacturers cost per cigar. Tabacalera/Epicurean receives the difference between the wholesaler’s price and the price to the retailer. An example would be if the cost per cigar from the manufacturer is $1.00 the wholesaler would start with a price of $1.27 per cigar. Tabacalera/Epicurean is paid the difference of the price per cigar above the $1.27. These sales can be generated directly through the wholesaler’s network or the Company can also work to encourage sales of the cigars by retailers through the wholesaler.

 

We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company currently has $8,084.09 of cash on hand. The Company is spending limited funds at the current time with the exception of SEC and related corporate governance costs. We expect these costs to be approximately $40,000 per year. Our burn rate is currently $10,000 per quarter. Therefore, we do not have sufficient funds to accomplish our business plans for the next year. We will either have to substantially increase sales or pursue additional financing opportunities.

 

OUR BUSINESS

 

Market Overview

 

Cigars have a long history in the US, with the stereotypical public image of cigars tending to be of premium hand-rolled products, often from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua or Cuba (although the latter have been illegal in the US since the 1960s), smoked by powerful, wealthy and usually older men. This perception changed somewhat in the 1990s, as the cigar industry attracted women and younger adults alike to try higher quality cigars.

 

In reality, machine-made cigars and cigarillos account for the bulk of the category volume sales, and tend to be purchased by a younger, less affluent demographic, and do not possess the same status as their premium counterparts. Overall, cigar smoking is still far more popular among men than women, although women have shown growing interest in recent years.

 

According to an October 2013 report from Euromonitor International on the U.S. cigar market (www.euromonitor.com/cigars-in-the-us/report), cigars sales are expected to grow by a CAGR of 1 percent in volume terms between 2012and 2017, to reach 12,825 million units in 2017. Cigarillos are predicted to be the fastest growing category, posting a CAGR of 2% in retail volume terms, while cigars excluding cigarillos will register a CAGR of 1%. Growth in the large and standard cigars categories will be moderate, with a CAGR of 2% and 1% expected respectively. However, handmade cigar manufacturers might find it harder to increase prices in the forecast periods and may be forced to compromise on tobacco quality in order to keep prices low. There will be no imminent return to the cigar boom of the late 1990’s with value sales of cigars excluding cigarillos increasing at a CAGR of only 2% in constant value terms over the forecast period.

 

Company management believes principal changes that can lead to growth in the premium cigar market cigar market are (1) the emergence of an expanding base of younger new cigar smokers, both male and female, (2) increasing popularity of cigars among celebrities who are viewed as trend-setters, (3) continued media interest, especially through Cigar Aficionado magazine, (4) promotion of “cigar friendly” restaurants and nightclubs and (5) the increase in the population of people over 50 years in age, a group that has traditionally been viewed as consuming more luxury goods, including cigars.

 

Products

 

Premium cigars are generally defined as cigars that are hand-made from high-quality, natural leaf binder, long-filler and wrapper tobaccos. Premium cigars usually sell for $5 or more per cigar. The principal elements that determine the quality of the cigar are the type of tobacco leaf, the curing and aging process, and the skill of the hand-roller.

 

The Company has worked with a cigar manufacturer named Plasencia, in Esteli, Nicaragua to develop its cigars. Plasencia will produce Epicurean Cigars rolled with tobacco grown in northern Nicaragua, where the country’s best tobacco is grown. Nicaragua is recognized internationally by the quality of its cigars, Plasencia is particularly skilled at marrying Nicaragua tobacco with the Cuban tradition and expertise in the manufacturing process.

 

The Company currently sells three different brands of cigars through wholesalers: Armando Gutierrez, Gonzo and Armando Gutierrez Azul. These products are generally sold individually and in 20 count boxes of various cigar sizes. The wholesale prices of our products range from $80 to $95 per 20 count box. Since inception, the Company has sold 358 boxes of cigars. However, there have been no sales since December 2012.

 

23
 

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Our former CEO, Steven Ysidron, developed a database of 1,200 retail customers across the U.S. who have purchased cigars from him during the past 20 years. We plan to utilize this database to reach out to potential customers. The primary contact will be made through fliers delivered by mail and email to the retail establishments. The company will then use Mr. Tejeda to follow up by phone with the contacts to try to close sales. Mr. Tejeda will begin with those retail establishments that respond to the initial contact and he will then begin to call through the rest of the list. Additionally, Mr. Tejeda will use his own connections in the industry to contact private vendors to sell our products. The Company is also currently marketing its products in clubs and golf resort communities.  After these retailers have demonstrated an interest in our products, we will put them in contact with our wholesalers who will complete the order.

  

Additionally, we will find wholesalers who are interested in selling our cigars to retailers and work with them in marketing our products. We will work with these wholesalers closely, in order to maximize sales. To date, we have a relationship with one wholesaler, LJ Zucca Enterprises. We do not have a written agreement with LJ Zucca Enterprises.

 

Competition

 

The Company has several large, well-financed competitors in the market for premium cigars. Each of these better known companies enjoys strong brand names and a history of successful product launches. These companies compete directly with the Company for consumer sales, as well for supplies of tobacco and employees.

  

The US cigar category remained quite consolidated in 2012, with the top four companies accounting for 75% of total volume sales. Swisher International (NYSE: SWR) continued to hold the leading position with a volume share of 34%, mainly due to its strength in machine-manufactured standard and small cigars and cigarillos available on the mass market. Altadis USA (NYSE: CIG) was the second leading player with a volume share of 23%, followed by John Middleton with a share of 11% and Swedish Match North America with 7%. (www.euromonitor.com/cigars-in-the-us/report.)

 

These companies have substantially greater capital resources, manufacturing, sales and marketing experience, and substantially longer and more extensive relationships with growers and long-standing brand recognition and market acceptance than the Company. See “RISK FACTORS”. The Company believes, however, that the market for premium cigars is growing rapidly enough to support the entry of new brands such as those offered by the Company and that the inability of the entrenched competitors to meet current demand supports this position.

 

Regulation and Litigation in the Tobacco Industry

 

Cigar manufacturers, like other producers of tobacco products, are subject to regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Since the early 1970’s the trend has been for increasing regulation, which when coupled with changing public attitudes toward smoking, has had the effect of reducing overall consumption of tobacco products in the United States. Federal law has required warning labels on cigarettes since 1965, though no such warnings have been required for cigars. Recent federal law enacted by Congress has required states applying for certain federal grants for substance abuse programs to adopt a minimum age of 18 for purchase of tobacco products and to establish elaborate enforcement programs to support this requirement. Legislation proposed but not enacted by Congress has sought to impose (1) bans on advertising of tobacco products or on the deductibility of such advertising expenses for federal tax purposes, (2) additional labeling, warnings or listings of additives, (3) preemption of state law to impose civil liabilities on manufacturers and distributors of tobacco products, (4) reimbursement to the federal government for health care costs incurred in connection with tobacco-related conditions and (5) regulation of tobacco products by the Food and Drug Administration as a possibly addictive “drug.” Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that widespread exposure to so-called “secondary smoke” may present a serious and substantial public health concern. The impact of this finding and the EPA’s authority to regulate “secondary smoke” are the subject of ongoing litigation.

 

As a cigar broker the Company will be open to all of the risk factors listed in this disclosure.

 

Many states and local governments have passed statutes or ordinances severely limiting the types of establishments (such as restaurants and office buildings), and the areas within such establishments, in which persons may smoke.

 

24
 

 

The Company cannot predict the outcome of these legislative and regulatory initiatives or of litigation in the future. Presumably, the trend toward increased regulation will continue at all levels. Depending on these outcomes, there may be a materially adverse effect on the tobacco products industry in general and the Company in particular. See “RISK FACTORS.”

 

Excise Taxes

 

Cigars have long been subject to federal, state and local excise taxes and it is frequently suggested that additional excise taxes be levied on such products to support various legislative programs. The Company is unable to predict whether significant increases in excise taxes on its products will be enacted in the future. Such increases were proposed by the Clinton Administration in 1993 to fund that administration’s health care reform initiatives, but were not enacted by Congress. Imposition of significant increases in excise taxes could have a material adverse impact on the large cigar industry in general and the Company in particular.

 

Employees

 

We presently have no employees apart from our President, Mr. Ramon Tejeda, and our Secretary, Ms. Beth Floyd.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

Our principal executive office is located at 100 Europa Drive, Ste. 455, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27535, and our telephone number is (919) 933-2720. We have a consulting agreement with Europa Capital Investments, LLC for consulting services on a monthly basis. As part of this agreement, they allow us to use some of their office space on an “as needed basis.” We do not have a separate contract with them for the space because the space we need and time we need it for vary each time we utilize it.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

There is presently no public market for our shares of common stock. We anticipate applying for quoting of our common stock on the OTCBB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms apart. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares of common stock will be quoted on the OTCBB or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.

 

Holders of Capital Stock

 

As of the date of this registration statement, we had 40 holders of our common stock.

 

Rule 144 Shares

 

As of the date of this registration statement, we do not have any shares of our common stock that are currently available for sale to the public in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144.

 

Stock Option Grants

 

We do not have a stock option plan in place and have not granted any stock options at this time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

To the Board of Directors of:

Tabacalera Ysidron, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tabacalera Ysidron, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the two years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the period from November 8, 2011 (Inception) to March 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Tabacalera Ysidron, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the period from November 8, 2011 (Inception) to March 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss since inception of $809,934 and used cash in operations of $253,009 from inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TABACALERAYSIDRON, INC AND SUBSIDIARY

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013

 

NOTE 1SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A) Organization

 

TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. (a development stage company) (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 8, 2011 to introduce premium cigars to the United States as a cigar broker. Premium cigars are defined as those that are hand-rolled from highest grade whole-leaf tobacco and sell for more than $5 per cigar at retail.

 

Epicurean Cigars, Inc. (a development stage company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 15, 2011.

 

Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.

 

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying 2014 and 2013 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Epicurean Cigars, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”).  All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of services and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

 

(F) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The net deferred tax liability in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:

The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2034.

TABACALERAYSIDRON, INC AND SUBSIDIARY

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013

 

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $314,234 and $220,672, respectively, available to offset future taxable income through March 31, 2034. The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating loss and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2034.

 

The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was an increase of $36,075 and $67,347 respectively.

 

The company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service through 2019.

 

(G) Inventories

 

Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method and average cost is recomputed after each inventory purchase or sale.

 

(H) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue from the sale of cigars upon delivery of cigars to the customer.

 

(I) Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For the year ended march 31, 2014, there were no inventory purchases.

For the year ended March 31, 2013, 100% of the cigars were purchased from one manufacturer.

 

(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity—which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In June 2014, FASB and IASB (the “boards”) jointly issued an exposure draft (ED), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ED, released by the FASB as a proposed Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

NOTE 5GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with minimal operations, used cash in operations of $253,009 from inception and has a net loss since inception of $809,934. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014

(UNAUDITED)

 

  NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

 

It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation.  The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 8, 2011 to purchase and distribute premium cigars. Premium cigars are defined as those that are hand-rolled from highest grade whole-leaf tobacco and sell for more than $5 per cigar at retail.

 

Epicurean Cigars, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 15, 2011.

  

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Epicurean Cigars, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”).  All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include impairment of inventory, valuation of in kind contribution of services and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Inventories

 

Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method and average cost is recomputed after each inventory purchase or sale. Inventory is periodically reviewed in order to identify obsolete or damaged inventory and impaired values. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment on inventory of $4,912.

(G) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue from the sale of cigars upon delivery of cigars to the customer.

 

(I) Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 the cigar sales to one customer accounted for 100% of revenues. There were no revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

 

(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity—which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application with the first annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (Public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). The Company adopted this pronouncement for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014

(UNAUDITED)

 

In June 2014, FASB and IASB (the “boards”) jointly issued an exposure draft (ED), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ED, released by the FASB as a proposed Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

  NOTE 5 GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has minimal operations, has negative working capital and stockholders’ deficit of $70,332, used cash in operations of $4,341 and has a net loss of $31,898 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

  NOTE 6 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through August 8, 2014, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and concluded that events or transactions occurring during that period requiring recognition or disclosure have been made.

 

 
 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS

 

The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.

 

Plan of Operations

 

TabacaleraYsidron was established in November 2011 to introduce premium cigars to the United States as a cigar broker. Beginning in early 2007, the Company’s founders sought to develop a cigar that would appeal to aficionados of high-quality, hand-rolled, premium cigars. Through TabacaleraYsidron, the Company intends to introduce premium cigars to build sales of private label cigars as a cigar broker. The Company conducts its business principally through one operating subsidiary: Epicurean Cigars, Inc. which is the Company’s U.S. sales and marketing organization. Epicurean Cigars, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. 

 

The Company has a relationship with Plasencia, a cigar manufacturer in Esteli, Nicaragua. Plasencia will produce Epicurean Cigars rolled with tobacco grown in northern Nicaragua, where the country’s best tobacco is grown. Nicaragua is recognized internationally by the quality of its cigars. Plasencia is particularly skilled at marrying Nicaragua tobacco with the Cuban tradition and expertise in the manufacturing process.

 

The Company has a three part approach to building business over the next twelve months. The first will be to use Steve Ysidron’ and Ramon Tejeda’s contact base of over 1,200 retail customers to promote orders for cigars. We anticipate that this will require little upfront money on the part of the company. The primary contact will be made through fliers delivered by mail and email to the retail establishments. After these retailers have demonstrated an interest in our products, we will put them in contact with our wholesalers, who will complete the order.

 

The Company has budgeted $1,000 for the cost of this marketing approach to the business. The funds will cover the cost of designing a brochure that can be printed or emailed. The Company does not anticipate using glossy 4 color paper for the flier but instead a design that will be useable both as an email attachment and as a flier to send to potential customers. The Company is beginning work on a brochure at the current time and anticipates having a final version by the end of the summer. The Company will begin the email and mail campaign in September and phone follow-ups in October. 

 

The second approach of the Company is to contact every golf course in North Carolina initially with an opportunity to sell cigars in the golf shop. There is one golf resort in North Carolina that has already expressed an interest in selling cigars to guests. Mr. Tejeda is working through the details with this resort on pricing and display and restocking issues. All purchases of cigars will be made through our wholesalers. The Company hopes to have the product in place by the beginning of the fall golf season.

 

The third approach is to establish relationships with wholesalers who are interested in carrying our products and marketing them to retailers. We will work with these wholesalers closely, in order to maximize sales. To date, we have a relationship with one wholesaler, LJ Zucca Enterprises. We do not have a written agreement with LJ Zucca Enterprises.

 

The Company does not have sufficient capital to pursue this business model for the coming year while also paying the cost of this registration. Following SEC acceptance of this Registration Statement, we think that there will be more active interest in the second round of fundraising. Our burn rate is currently $10,000 per quarter. Therefore, we do not have sufficient funds to accomplish our business plans for the next year. We will either have to substantially increase sales or pursue additional financing opportunities in order to continue operations.

 

We are a development stage company, and to date, our development efforts have been focused primarily on the development and marketing of our business model. In addition, to date we have limited operating history for investors to evaluate the potential of our business development. As such, we have not built our customer base or our brand name. In addition, our sources of cash are not adequate for the next 12 months of operations. If we are unable to raise additional cash, we will either have to suspend or cease our expansion plans entirely.

 

Limited Operating History

 

We have generated no independent financial history and have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation and Organization

 

TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. (“TabacaleraYsidron” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation in the development stage and has commenced very limited operations. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 8, 2011. Since inception, the Company has sold 358 boxes of cigars. However, there have been no sales since December 2012.The business plan of the Company is to introduce premium cigars to build sales of private label cigars. The Company conducts its business principally though one operating subsidiary: Epicurean Cigars, Inc. which is the Company’s U.S. sales and marketing organization. Epicurean Cigars, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of TabacaleraYsidron, Inc.

   

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

 

For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangement in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition.” In all cases, revenue is recognized when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred, provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.

 

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the period from November 8, 2011 to March 31, 2014.

 

27
 

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.  It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties.  The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States.   All of the Company’s tax years since inception remain subject to examination by Federal and state jurisdictions.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

 

Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses for the period from November 8, 2011 (inception) through March 31, 2014. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

Operating Loss

 

Our operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $9,735 from $22,163 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $31,898 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have been funding our operations through the sale of our common stock.

 

Our primary uses of cash have been for fees paid to third parties for the professional services rendered for the preparation of the registration statement. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business and establishing brand portfolios. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

 

29
 

 

  ¨ An increase in working capital requirements to finance additional product development,
  ¨ Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,
  ¨ Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as the company expands within existing markets or enters new markets,
  ¨ The cost of being a public company, and
  ¨ Capital expenditures to add additional technology.

  

Our net revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. At March 31, 2014, we had a cash balance of $21,491 and working capital deficit of $(39,734). Since inception, we have raised $274,500. The Company currently has $8,084.09 of cash on hand. The Company is spending limited funds at the current time with the exception of SEC and related corporate governance costs. We expect these costs to be approximately $40,000 per year. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We may be required to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations.   We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. Other than working capital, we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We do not anticipate we will be profitable in 2014.  Therefore our future operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing.  Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

 

We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.

  

Our business plan within 12 months is outlined below:

 

Over the twelve month period starting upon the effective date of this registration statement, we intend to market our brand and assist the wholesaler to sell our products to retail cigar outlets nationwide. The Company has a three part approach to building business over the next twelve months. The first will be to use Steve Ysidron’ and Ramon Tejeda’s contact base of over 1,200 retail customers to promote orders for cigars. We anticipate that this will require little upfront money on the part of the company. The primary contact will be made through fliers delivered by mail and email to the retail establishments. After these retailers have demonstrated an interest in our products, we will put them in contact with our wholesalers, who will complete the order.

 

The Company has budgeted $1,000 for the cost of this marketing approach to the business. The funds will cover the cost of designing a brochure that can be printed or emailed. The Company does not anticipate using glossy four color paper for the flier but instead a design that will be useable both as an email attachment and as a flier to send to potential customers. The Company is beginning work on a brochure at the current time and anticipates having a final version by the end of the summer. The Company will begin the email and mail campaign in September and phone follow-ups in October. 

 

The second approach of the Company is to contact every golf course in North Carolina initially with an opportunity to sell cigars in the golf shop. There is one golf resort in North Carolina that has already expressed an interest in selling cigars to guests. Mr. Tejeda is working through the details with this resort on pricing and display and restocking issues. The Company hopes to have the product in place through the wholesaler by the beginning of the fall golf season.

 

The third approach is to establish relationships with wholesalers who are interested in carrying our products and marketing them to retailers. We will work with these wholesalers closely, in order to maximize sales. To date, we have a relationship with one wholesaler, LJ Zucca Enterprises. We do not have a written agreement with LJ Zucca Enterprises.

 

The Company does not have sufficient capital to pursue this business model for the coming year while also paying the cost of this registration. Following SEC acceptance of this Registration Statement, we think that there will be more active interest in the second round of fundraising.

 

If we are unable to build our customer base or gain any clients, we will cease our development and/or marketing operations until we raise money. Attempting to raise capital after failing in any phase of our development plan could be difficult. As such, if we cannot secure additional proceeds we will have to cease operations and investors would lose their entire investment.  At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. However, we intend to raise additional capital through private placements once we gain a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, for which there is no assurance. If we need additional cash but are unable to raise it, we will either suspend marketing operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

On November 8, 2011 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Europa Capital Investments, LLC to receive administrative and other miscellaneous services. The Company is required to pay $5,000 a month. The agreement is to remain in effect unless either party desires to cancel the agreement. Europa Capital Investments has consulted with us on properly forming a company, properly structuring the financing for the Company, properly making projections on the business, and developing presentation materials. In addition, they have consulted and provided assistance and introductions to individuals with expertise in international ventures, tax issues, and other relevant sales expertise.

Item 12A. Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification of Securities Act Liabilities

 

Our director and officer are indemnified as provided by the Nevada corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify Ramon Tejeda and Beth Floyd against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 8, 2011. In connection with incorporation, we issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our founder for services with a fair value of $500.  These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.

  

On March 11, 2013, the Company sold through a Regulation D Rule 506 offering a total of 2,745,000 shares of common stock to a total of 39 investors, 5 of whom are accredited investors, at a price per share of $0.10 for an aggregate offering price of $274,500. These shares were sold over the course of two fiscal years. As of March 31, 2012, we issued 1,068,500 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2013, we issued an additional 1,676,500 shares of common stock. The Common Stock issued in this offering was issued in a transaction not involving a public offering in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Please note that pursuant to Rule 506, all shares purchased in the Regulation D Rule 506 offering completed in March 2013 were restricted in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, each of these shareholders were either accredited as defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or sophisticated as defined in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

We have never utilized an underwriter for an offering of our securities. Other than the securities mentioned above, we have not issued or sold any securities.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i.    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii.   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

iii.  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 

 

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 

 

(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(6) That in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

i.Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
ii.Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii.The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv.Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
